What does Princess Binh Duong mean?! Gu Yilan looked at the back of the carriage of the princess's mansion that gradually disappeared, and squinted her eyes slightly. She is actually not sure what Princess Pingyang wants to say, but she is very sure that Princess Pingyang is not an open-mouthed person, and her words today must have deep meaning.

It wasn't until the carriage of the princess's mansion completely disappeared that Gu Yilan closed the window and instructed the coachman outside, "Let's go." ”

The carriage gradually began to shake, Gu Yilan closed her eyes, leaned back in her chair, and carefully recalled everything that had just happened......

In the other direction, in Princess Pingyang's carriage, the princess was sitting precariously, staring ahead with a serious expression, and the smile on her face had completely disappeared. In the carriage, the old palace maid who grew up with Princess Pingyang looked at Princess Pingyang's face, sighed softly and said, "Wenxing Street is really not a good place to talk, and the princess is still anxious. ”

"I know that, too." Princess Pingyang looked slightly helpless: "So I didn't say anything too much." ”

"Because of this," the old palace maid nodded: "The slave maid thinks that Grandma Mu may not be able to react." Besides, even if she understood, what would she do? She is a married girl, and she will never be able to influence the thoughts of the scholars. ”

"Yes." Princess Pingyang replied, "So I just tried it, and I didn't report much hope." These important ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee, all of whom are scheming, are all old foxes. The establishment of the reserve is a major matter, how can they make a decision easily, they must wait and see for a while. It's just that I always feel that this incident in the north may be an opportunity. Don't look at the old ministers who are cautious one by one, but most of the young officials are actually much more radical than the old ministers, and many of them are actually biased towards the Mu family. ”

It's just that most of the young court officials are not high-ranked, and because the important ministers did not express their positions before, they did not express their opinions publicly. Now that Xiao Wu has publicly expressed his support for the Mu family, his big banner has been erected, you wait and see, there will be many people following Xiao Wu in the next two days. If they follow the first time, they can follow the second time, as long as Xiao Wu is stable, sooner or later he will be able to firmly envelop the hearts of this group of people and make them his loyal servants. Don't underestimate these young court officials, the replacement of the old and the new in the court will always happen, and the father will not ignore this. ”

"King Shin must have thought of it a long time ago, right?" The old palace maid thought for a moment before asking.

"Of course." Princess Pingyang smiled slightly: "From the beginning, Xiao Wu and Zheng Jin have taken the opposite path. Zheng Jin firmly controlled Li Xiang's line through Empress Wei and Concubine Wen, and wanted to get Xie Xiang's support through his marriage to Miss Xie Si. He also repeatedly courted scholars Gu, actively contacted Lord Wang, and tried his best to encompass the six Shangshu. It can be seen from this that his mind is all on these high-ranking officials, he attaches importance to the support of powerful ministers, and never takes those young court officials with low official positions in his eyes. In his opinion, even if those people have ideas, they can't twist their arms and thighs in the end, and in the end, it is the powerful ministers who can affect the results. ”

"King Yi is the most shrewd person." The old palace maid replied: "Naturally, I will take a shortcut." Gaining the support of important ministers is indeed the most efficient way. ”

"That's right, take a shortcut," Princess Pingyang smiled: "It's really in line with his temperament." He has been like this since he was a child, flexible and cunning. However, although this shortcut has the benefits of a shortcut, it is not always possible to take advantage of the shortcut. Compared with him, Xiao Wu does not have the support of the queen's mother behind him, and the Xie family, the mother family of Queen Xie, does not seem to have a close connection, has no relationship with Gu Daxue, and is even more antagonistic with Li Xiang, on the surface, it looks extremely weak, but this game after game, do you see Xiao Wu suffer? ”

"It seems like no." The old palace maid replied: "At the moment, it seems that it is slightly better. But isn't King Shin supported by you, the second princess and the fourth prince? In the eyes of the old slave, this is the advantage of King Xin, you are so smart, a stupid woman like Queen Wei, even if a hundred are tied together, it is not worth you alone. ”

"You can say that you are eccentric." Princess Pingyang replied with a smile: "No matter how smart I am, no matter how smart the second emperor sister is, and how alert the fourth emperor brother is, what about it?" We are not the people that our father cares about. Empress Wei can make waves right now, what do you think is the reason? It's not because her father is willing to indulge her and protect her. Therefore, Xiao Wusheng is not winning in our support, our children of the heavenly family, looking at Xuanhe, are actually the most useless. It is not easy for Xiao Wu to get rid of Empress Wei safely and get out of the palace to open the mansion, just this one, we waste brothers and sisters can't help him. ”

"How can a princess be so self-indulgent." The old lady was a little upset for Princess Pingyang: "Except for a few of Empress Wei's biological children, who of the other princesses and princes has an easy life?" Princess, your conditions are limited, and now you have done your best to help King Xin like this. ”

"Where can I do my best," Princess Pingyang couldn't help but smile: "I'm not the second emperor sister and the fourth emperor brother. The two of them are going all out to arch the little five! But the two of them are far away in Yiling and can't return to Beijing, and the resources in their hands are limited, even if they try their best, they can't provide much help. At present, Xiao Wu can have such a situation, in fact, most of it depends on himself. I said earlier, Zheng Jin, in fact, was raised crooked by his mother, and he thought about relying on his cleverness to trick him up during the day. You see that Xiao Wu is so calm, knowing that after Zheng Jin stared at those important ministers, he avoided them and managed his prestige and connections among young court officials in a down-to-earth manner. ”

Zheng Jin will never be able to figure this out. Although those young court officials have a low official position, they have a large number of people, and if they unite and respond to every call, they are also a force that should not be underestimated. In the future, this is the prestige and connections that will truly grow on a large scale. ”

"But the ministers are in power after all." The old palace maid replied: "After all, the young court officials are not high-ranked, except for a few positions in front of the emperor, the rest of the officials below the fifth rank do not even have the qualifications to go to the court, and they can't speak in front of the emperor." ”

"But if you think about it, dozens of low-level officials, even if they are all seventh- or eighth-grade sesame officials," Princess Pingyang replied, "If they unite and collectively give a recital to their father, can their father ignore the past?" Although the opinions of the important ministers of the court and the central government carry a heavy weight, the shouts and appeals of a large group of low-level officials cannot be ignored either, and the father knows all this. ”

"It's still a princess." The old palace maid smiled and nodded: "It's the old slave who is narrow-minded." ”
